What to know in Wisconsin
Start with these state-specific findings, then use the checklist below to review the rest of your practice. The linked authorities explain the conditions and exceptions behind each point.
Cos 2 contains a delegated-medical-procedures framework
The DSPS rules directory links Chapter Cos 2, including §2.025 on delegated medical procedures. Review that provision for physician direction, supervision and inspection when a cosmetology licensee performs covered medical procedures.

Wisconsin has circulated proposed changes affecting training and delegated procedures. Confirm the effective text linked by DSPS before relying on a draft’s added treatments, training criteria or chemical-peel thresholds.
